Style
The band identifies themselves as an indie electro soul band, their sound is a modern take on blue eyed soul, the tracks feature elements of classic Motown and Stax/Volt compositions with influences from dubstep, 90s rap, and contemporary electronica.[2][9] Their sound reaches into the past, grabs ahold of images and sounds that resonates, and compliments them with modern samples, synths and beats.[2][10]
